I am looking for the actual journal article that lists the conflicts of interest of IDSA members.

I remember reading it but cannot find it.

Please post the link if you have it! Thank you!

There is this:

It says:

"The IDSA's 2006 Lyme disease guideline panel undercut its credibility by allowing individuals with financial interests -- in drug companies, Lyme disease diagnostic tests, patents and consulting arrangements with insurance companies -- to exclude divergent medical evidence and opinion."

Thanks TF. I know about that article and already posted that link on my FB page.

I'm looking for the actual article from one of the journals that explicitly lists all their conflicts of interest.

There is a great article that shows that members supported the incorrect ISDA guidelines while several of them did research studies in which their results & conclusions directly opposed the ISDA guidelines they support officially.

EightLegsBad may know that article. It is large and cites the research by ISDA members and how it conflicts with their official position.
